Ten Tasty Lemon Recipes

It’s spring (yay!) and along with that comes sunny days and warmer weather. To me there’s no flavor that goes along better with this time of year than lemon. It’s bright and sunshiny and refreshing, and I love finding ways to infuse it into our menu. When I decided the theme for this week’s Tasty Ten Tuesday would be lemon, I hardly had to do any searching on Pinterest because my boards were already full of lemon recipes. I’ve gotten my kids in on the lemon fan club, too. Jackson, our six-year-old, loves for me to make lemon bread and has requested a lemon birthday cake in the past. They even got to go to a kids’ cooking school at our local Chick Fil A and learned to make lemonade from scratch. I can’t think of much that’s better on a hot day than a tall, ice cold glass of fresh-squeezed lemonade!

Lemon is one of those flavors that is incredibly versatile, too – it compliments chicken, seafood, and pasta, but it’s also amazing in salad dressings, drinks, and desserts. I love Chicken Piccata, which has a great lemony flavor, and I love lemon sorbet, which is tart and sweet, a perfect end for meals.

The recipes this week reflect that versatility – you’ll find a great pomegranate lemonade punch, a blueberry lemon layer cake, shrimp scampi skewers and more among this group of delicious dishes. I can’t wait to make the glazed lemon zucchini bread this weekend!
